   • Château de Blois. In Blois you’re lucky to have one of the Loire Valley’s absolute must-see châteaux, in the middle of the city like any other attraction.
   • Fondation du Doute. After overdosing on châteaux you may be in need of some culture of a different speed, and you’ll get just that at the Fondation du Doute.
   • Maison de la Magie. Across the way from the Château de Blois is a rare museum, devoted entirely to magic but also a performance venue for illusionists, on top of being a magic workshop.
   • Château de Chambord. You’ll be cheating yourself if you come to Blois and don’t go to the largest and possibly the most impressive of all the châteaux in the Loire Valley.
